Linux games now available!
Hi there, Linux / Ubuntu users!
Today is your day. I finally managed to harness the knowledge of creating virtual machine, installing Ubuntu on it and connecting it to my good ol’ PC work station. Thus, linux versions are now a reality. Get them all here:
10 Gnomes in Trstenik
The Peter Navarre Crecy Evaluation
Where is 2018?
the RavineThese builds were created to the exact specifications of Game Maker Studio 2.
I used Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (Trusty Tahr) as instructed by the how-to page.
They say it’s the only version of Ubuntu they support right now that creates stable builds of games. I know that some of you might still come across difficulties, like users of Fedora OS, but there’s actually not much more I can do about this situation. I’m not a Linux user myself, therefore it’s hard for me to dig deeper into this subject.
Believe me, connecting Ubuntu Virtual Machine to Game Maker Studio 2 on my PC is kind of a peak of my tech-savviness when it comes to Linux. The process is then automated, therefore tweaking it is out of the question for me.
However, I hope majority of you will be able to open and play these games! A side note: this only concerns games from 2017, which were created in Game Maker Studio 2. Games from 2016 were done in a previous version of the studio without access to Linux versions. Buying that access on a defunct and unused engine now seems a bit redundant, doesn’t it?
(Yes, that also means that all my future releases will be available on Linux on premiere day as well).
Happy days ahead!
